Started building the grill with bricks freehand, but after a few courses, I realized that using a mason's line is necessary; no matter how much you use the level, it easily goes off otherwise. The problem is that I'm building on a concrete slab on a leca base in a paved patio = I can't set up studs/battens in the ground as usual. Clamps are also hard to manage. So, I have to nail/screw a stud vertically into the existing wall to continue upwards with better help from studs and lines between them.
How do I attach temporary studs to the wall in a good way? You don't really want to use plugs. Maybe nail into the joint, but I'm a bit afraid of cracking it when it's close to the edge—after all, it's only a half-brick wall that's completely visible. Is it easy to remove nails with plugs if you nail plug them?

Two boards on the gables that stick out a little, and a beam at the top and one at the bottom that is screwed into the boards, then let your imagination decide the rest on how they should be attached to the gables, maybe a framework around it or supports from the ground towards them.
Good idea to attach them to an "överliggare" at the top, will try to get it that way!
I understand it sounds like a non-problem, but quite tricky in practice to get it stable vertically and horizontally when it's hard to get a good grip somewhere.
